Question

Can you ever really trust someone who carries a gun?

Answer 1

Answer 10

This is my rifle...this is my gun...this is for fighting...this is for...fundamentally, I trust any law-abiding citizen who handles a firearm in a safe and responsible manner...

Answer 11

I grew up in the west and guns were very ordinary to us. We knew how to load and shoot them and the responsibilities of gun ownership. I interrupted a home invasion at my home with my shot gun. It is unfortunate that too many of us equate a gun with crime. Most of the guns used in gang shootings and other crimes are stolen with the serial numbers filed off. They are not those of responsible gun owners.

Answer 12

Sure, why not?

TRUST SUICIDE BOMBERS Who CARRY NO GUNS But CAN KILL THOUSANDS PLUS.

Answer 21

It is not the gun that makes a person untrustworthy.
It is untrustworthy people misusing guns who allow some fanatics to attempt to portray all sun owners as somehow frightening.

Answer 22

Ownership of a gun has nothing to do with trusting them.

Answer 23

I trust no one. However, I would rather take my chances with an armed partner than an unarmed partner. For the same reasons I prefer to live where the laws favor law abiding citizens and not criminals, criminals prefer to live where there is gun control.

Answer 24

I trust many people that carry as police and legal carriers, I have no problem with legal carriers. Worry about the criminals that will have them even if banned, they are the problem not us.

Answer 25

Some people think it would reduce gun related crimes. I see druggies everywhere, and drugs are illegal. Thinking isn't their strong point.

Answer 26

Nope, it sure isn't. Criminals and the government the only ones with guns, good idea (liberal logic).

I tote a gun. You can trust me, up until you pull a blade or gun on me. Then you can kiss you *** goodbye.

Answer 33

A firearm wouldn't really effect someone's trustworthiness... I either trust them or I don't, there aren't many people I trust though.

Answer 34

Sure, Police men and women, service men and women, hunting colleagues and sky marshals

Answer 35

Guns are good!

Answer 36

But you might *** up dead.

Answer 37

Why wouldn't you?

Answer 38

Trust and admire

Answer 39

Yes why not? I'm ex-military and I carried a loaded weapon all the time and so did a lot of my friends.
Trusting some one carrying a weapon is no different then trusting the drivers of cars not to suddenly run you over when you cross a cross walk.

Answer 40

No more and no less than anyone else.
